Historic Penman's Dam and Train Bridge (Paris, Ontario, Canada)
Penman’s Dam and Train Bridge (Paris, Ontario) The iconic S-Curve shape of the dam. The historic train trestle standing tall behind the dam. The reflections in the waters of the Grand River. The European charm of the village. It all adds up to one great photographic destination in Southern Ontario. It might not be an all-day stop, but Paris, Ontario is definitely worth a look. A bit off the…

Sunset Over Monora Park In Orangeville, Ontario
About The Picture This was a bracketed exposure shot, thus the heavy HDR effect. Still, it’s kind of a cool shot and is now quite unique. The pond at Monora Park is no longer. The dam was released to “naturalize” the area. This view will most likely never be seen again. This park is actually in the Town of Mono, just to the north of Orangeville, Ontario, Canada. There are multi-use trails that…

Sunrise On Pigeon Lake (Kawartha Lakes Region)
Time of Day for Fishing or Photography Let’s face it, if you don’t have to be up before the dawn, you should still be in bed. But, if you do get up before the world comes back to life, the rewards are usually plentiful. The fishing is at its best and the photography can more often than not be phenomenal. This photo was taken on a morning full of both. The pictures of the summertime Kawartha…

A look at the 1964-65 Topps 20 NHL hockey card featuring Bobby Hull of the Chicago Blackhawks.
This set was called “The Tall Boys” for it’s unconventional card dimensions.
The back of the card has the foresight to reference Bobby’s “kid brother” Dennis. The up and coming Dennis Hull would go on to play nearly 1,000 games in the National Hockey League with the Chicago Blackhawks and Detroit Red Wings.

Edmundston, New Brunswick: A Passed Over Gem?
An Early Morning Stopover In Edmundston, New Brunswick As often as possible, we try to take a week or so in September to head east to Canada’s maritime provinces. What has become the norm is leaving in the evening and driving through the night. This gets us through both the Toronto and Montreal traffic with little hassle. What this also does is put us in Edmundston, New Brunswick in the hours…

Into The Studio: Winter Time Photography (In 2020, For Sure)
A lot of things we enjoy doing have gone up in smoke due to COVID-19. Oh, they’ll return. Some day. But, that doesn’t mean our lives are over. There are many ways to continue on doing the things you love. You just have to shift your lifestyle a little bit.
With photography, maybe that’s bringing things down to a smaller scale. If you’re an outdoor photographer, why not try your hand at some…

Forever, Never, Always. Words That Should Be Stricken From Our Vocabulary
Go down to the airport. Sit in your favourite spot with a view of the incoming planes as they’re just about to touchdown. Take a batch of pictures of each as they fly by. Pick the best, edit them and create a aviation photography website.
Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. What a great passion website idea with a little…

The 2 Stages Of Fall Colours: Leaves On The Tree and Leaves On The Ground
The 2 Stages Of Fall Colours: Leaves On The Tree and Leaves On The Ground
An Autumn Walk Through Monora Park
Fall colours really do take on a two stage approach. The leaves are beautiful on a large scale when they change colour while still in the tree. But, after most have fallen, the season’s not quite over yet.
The carpet of fallen leaves on the ground makes basic, boring nature views really come to life. With a tight, close up look, you capture some simply…

The Pain Of Getting The Shots
I’m in my 50’s. I’m active and what I would consider physically fit. I play hockey twice a week in the winter months (on pause due to the COVID-19 shit storm). Yet, most of my injuries come in pursuit of photos and video…
Most recently, this past week in fact, I strained my Achilles tendon on my right side. Not an unusual injury for me. But, in the past the…

The Beauty Of Kingston, Ontario
What’s with the title of this post? Well, if you look at the picture, it’s what is often shown as a downtown shot of Kingston, Ontario, Canada. But, most of it is not.
Mostly what you see is the campus of the Royal Military College which is on a spur of land between Fort Henry, where the shot was taken from, and downtown. Some of downtown is seen in the…

Don’t Miss The Photo You’re Going To Regret
After a morning of shooting photos and video at Burleigh Falls, Ontario, I was pretty focused on just getting some coffee and getting back to the trailer. It was basically the last stay in the Kawarthas before shutting down for the winter months. There was final boating to do and cleaning to be done.
But, I couldn’t drive past this scene on…

Burleigh Falls is just a short drive from where we have our summer trailer. Yet, for the ten or so years we’ve been going there, I have never actually been to Burleigh Falls. Until this past week (See video below)…
Earlier in the summer, the location received a ton of media attention after authorities had to shut things down. The COVID-19 spurred…

High Shutter Speed Magic At McGowan Falls
Waterfalls Are Chaos When Frozen In Time
(Almost) Everyone loves the silky smooth long exposure waterfall photos. The lines are all smoothed out and seemingly arranged and organized. I like them, too. And, I like the process of capturing these photos.
But, I also like the other end of spectrum. Water takes on a different form when frozen with a fast shutter speed. 1/4000th of a second…

Beautiful Sunsets Appear Out Of Nowhere (Bobcaygeon, Ontario)
When The Storm Breaks Just In Time
All the way heading eastward to Bobcaygeon, Ontario, Canada, we were accompanied by heavy clouds and rain. All the way, that is, until we reached the town.
At that point, the magic began. The clouds began to break up and make way from some clear sky patches. It was just prior to sunset which meant stopping would leave us unpacking the car in the dark.

You’re A Guest
Remember: No matter how large, old and famous the tourist attraction is, you’re visiting someone’s home. For example, folks actually live in Venice, Italy. The island. With the canals. Imagine if there was a steady stream of people constantly walking in front of your house, treading on your lawn, stopping to take selfies in your doorway. All the while, seeing you as just part of…

What Is That Black Structure Barely Seen From The Highway?
Palmerston, Ontario is small. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. Small town life is where it’s at, especially when you’re within an hour’s drive or less from all the big city amenities.
When I take the back roads way from Orangeville to London, I pass by this town. Without even a traffic light (I think?) it’s nothing but a bit…
